These 12 inch tall bare root plants establish readily and grow into multi-stemmed shrubs that bring a natural, woodland feel to gardens, hedgerows, and wildlife plantings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eElderberry fits beautifully into mixed borders, native plant gardens, and rain gardens, where its blooms and later dark berries add seasonal interest across the growing season. The clusters of flowers are followed by small dark fruits that are traditionally used in jams, jellies, pies, and syrups after proper cooking. Plants spread by suckers over time, forming attractive thickets, so give them room to naturalize or plan for regular division. For best berry production, plant more than one variety nearby to support cross-pollination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpecies: Sambucus canadensis\u003cbr\u003e\nVariety: American Elderberry\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Deciduous shrub\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant_Habit: Upright, multi-stemmed, spreading by suckers\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Full sun to partial shade\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Moist, well-drained, adaptable to loam or clay\u003cbr\u003e\nDays_to_Harvest: Not applicable\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: 3 to 9\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: Not applicable\u003cbr\u003e\nSowing: Not applicable\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: 6 to 10 feet apart\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: Bare root plants ship dormant; soak roots briefly before planting and keep soil consistently moist while establishing\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67664670785672,"sku":"BTR-182","price":56.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/download_597ea90e-c1bc-4952-826e-31b835ab4e37.png?v=1791897482","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/5-bare-root-american-elderberry-plants-sambucus-canadensis-12-inch-tall-live-plants","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
